Which Mortal Kombat Character Are You? Take the quiz!
The film has been given an R-Rating and the director described the scenes to be "sickeningly violent" in a recently released featurette. It is inadvisable for children to watch the film because of this. Still, with this, the fight scenes of the film will definitely not be subpar and would cater you just the violence and the gore that you expect from it.
A star-studded ensemble stars Mortal Kombat with Lewis Tan as Cole Young, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Josh Lawson as Kano, Mechad Brooks as Jax, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Hiroyuki Sanasa as Hanzo Hasashi/ Scorpion, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han/ Sub-Zero, Sisi Stringer as Mileena, Max Huang as Kung Lao, Matilda Kimber as Emily Young, and Laura Brent as Allison Young.
Mortal Kombat will have its theatrical release on April 23, 2021, and it will also be up on HBO Max the same day, making it available online for those with an active subscription costing $14.99 a month. For those living in Canada and UK, it will be available on video on demand platforms on the same day for the price of 24.99 CAD and £15.99 respectively.
To those living in Australia, the same trend as that of Canada and the UK will be making available Mortal Kombat online along with its theatrical release on select theaters in Australia through video-on-demand platforms. It would cost around the same price and would turn up in either iTunes, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video, available for 48-hours through renting the film.
If the film would follow what other HBO Max content did like Zack Snyder's Justice League which was made available through the streaming service of Binge, Australia's streaming for HBO contents, for the price of AUD$10.00, then you can access Mortal Kombat through such as well if it turns up in the said streaming platform.
Of course, the surest choice would be hitting the cinemas. Still, don't forget to follow health and safety protocols put in place by the government. Watch safely and catch Mortal Kombat in cinemas on April 22, 2021, that's right! A day before the worldwide release of the film, you can have it!
